Interesting that unmodified Crafty 16.6 picks it up at 4 secs, and then drops it
until 28 secs. The only other one that  found it quickly was Junior 5, in 2:30.
Genius6, CM6000 and Fritz 5.32 weren't getting close after several minutes each.
Maybe someone should start compiling a 'CCC test suite'...
